Since now you can use only PC Companion as an official software to firmware update / repair in your Sony Ericsson / Sony phone, however Sony Update Service still works and can be downloaded from internet mirrors. We don't know for how long this software will be usable. What do you think about this Sony's decission? Let's discuss!
